Hi - kind of reintroducing myself as I 'lurk' here quite often. I hope I can be considered a CSP as I very much beleive in live and let live and abour discrimination in any way.

My 'real' name is Jacqui and I'm married with one DD who's 7. I live in the UK and always seem to gravitate towards having gay friends. Back in college my best friend was gay (sadly he died of leukemia about 15 years ago ) and we used to love watching Keifer Sutherland movies and competing as to who loved him the most!

It was me of course....sorry Simon!!!!

You Camp?
I know you dance... but I didn't think you camped.
"Campy" maybe. But not in the woods camping!

Rick's idea of camping is a motel where room service is a french fry tied to a brick and heaved through the window!

Moosehead Lake! That's a beautiful area. My grandparents lived there for a few years. Kind of a hike to get there though.

LOL I used to go camping and hunting up there too.

My fathers family is from Maine, and I lived in Damariscotta for quite a while

OMG Wood Nymphs Everywhere!
Maybe this is where the term "woods queer" came from.

 

[paigevz]

Yeah, I'm definetly someone that enjoys going with other people, so a solo trip does make me a little nervous, but hey, if the mouse is calling...

When the schmecken beckons...................

Or however you spell that.........what is schmecken anyway? But I LOVE champagne truffles........Rick! When is Joe sending me some of those???????

And I HATE the woods, well they're okay to hike in, but not to sleep in.......Blair Witch anyone?

It occurred to me you guys may not be familiar with this quaint little colloquialism
and someone might be having a particually raw PC nerve moment
and think I was slamming you - fear not -
It's and old term - that's kinda like cabin fever - but it's where you go
a bit mad after being in the deep woods to long.

I said when I went with my family as a little kid. I didn't say I'd be caught dead camping now as an adult, able to make my own decisions and particularly able to stay in a lovely sun filled lodge room in the woods, with down pillows, private bath with whirlpool and HBO. Jeez.

No need to turn up the Queen on me Mike. Don't be hatin'.

 

[RickinNYC]

Rick! When is Joe sending me some of those???????

You honestly think I'd be able to talk Joe into putting those chocolate things in the mail... to you... or ANYONE else? You're lucky he gave you one when he did. You do know he just used you and your family as excuses to buy all that chocolate don't you? He otherwise gets evil eyes from me when he tries to buy them and it's just him and me.

I wonder how much fun a solo trip would be? I hear of people doing that. There's something about enjoying it with someone or a group. Let us know how a solo tour turns out.

Hello, neighbor!
I was squinting at your siggie pic to try to decide if I know either of you guys. The one on the left looks familiar!
EDIT: I DO know you guys! We have worked on charity events together! Mark was one of the top fundraisers the last year that I volunteered!

Paige -
At the mall yesterday I found the most amazing thing. Chocolate covered raspberry gummy bears. Truly one of the best inventions ever. Buy one pound, get a half pound free! Which I didn't do, but I might have to go back.

Sounds like my kind of camping trip....

my 2 cents:

First of all, when you described Rick's idea of camping, you forgot to put ketchup on the french fry. You also forgot to mention that the closest trees are a well-manicured part of the expensively landscaped resort. That also has ketchup.

Second, Paige, those chocolates are exclusively for trips to New York City. If I could mail you those chocolates whenever you wanted them, they would cease to become so wonderful. More importantly, Rick is correct. I might buy them for you, put them down on the car seat to head home or in the bag in my hand as I ride the subway and I wouldn't even be out of Manhattan before half of them would be gone. They are that delicious. You'll have to convince me to make it worth my while to go all the way to midtown buy you chocolates and send them to Texas, where, upon arrival, they will melt.

Oh, and I don't think camping in a cabin would be a bad idea at all. Provided that no deformed boy was drowned in the lake by a bunch of nasty teenage campers and his mother didn't still somehow live in the area wearing a completely hideous oversized sweater. (This last paragraph was expessly for my honey.)

Funny enough, that movie is EXACTLY why my DP refuses to stay at FW

Of course, we tend to go and relax on the beach and read very frequently.

May I please ask where the special magic chocolates are, is this in NYC or Florida? I am so wanting to come to NYC. Can't even tell you how much.

The chocolates in question are for sale at the chocolate shop in Rockefeller Center in NYC. I don't think they ship unless it's winter, however. And now that we are most of the way through March, I'm not sure they'll ship now. It's a French name so I'm not going to try to spell it.

Yes, come to NYC. Get same champagne truffles. They are worth the $7million dollar price tag for one tasty nugget. Of course that's an exaggeration, but they are really good.

Hi. I'm Greg. I'm 41, and I live in Clifton, NJ, which is fairly close to New York City.

I've always been a Disney fan. A few years ago, I bought into Disney Vacation Club, so now I can go to Walt Disney World (and stay in my beloved Wilderness Lodge) more often. I just booked my first Disney cruise, though it won't be until December 2009.

I'm single, so I usually travel with friends. Though it isn't always the same friend. (No one friend wants to go to WDW as often as I do.)

My next trip to Walt Disney World is in September. I was supposed to go to Disneyland this past February, and I was supposed to go to Walt Disney World next month. However, I had to cancel both trips because of illness in my family. So that's why my September WDW trip is fairly long - 10 nights, counting the three nights at Disney's Vero Beach resort. That'll probably be my only vacation this year, so I wanted to make it count.
